Senses in use

  1. Preposition marking accompaniment or shared participation · dominant

    The forms σὺν and σύν are tagged as prepositions throughout the sample and link people or groups within a shared action or setting. In Acts 10:20 the APB renders the command to go "with them"; in Acts 20:36 it renders kneeling and praying "with them all"; and in Acts 15:22 it describes the apostles and elders acting "together with the whole assembly." The same relation appears in shared travel in Acts 21:16, continuing presence in Acts 14:28, and shared future gathering in 1 Thessalonians 4:17.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly reflects the preposition through phrases such as "with them," "together with," and "with me." These phrases indicate the clauses' accompaniment relation rather than a fixed English equivalent for every occurrence.
